Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 529: Wuhuan Sends Troops!Yuan Tan's preparation!

"Hand down the king's order, Su Puyan and Nanlou, each of you will lead the elite cavalry of your headquarters and send troops to Jizhen. You must hurry up, do you understand?"

Tadun said loudly.

Su Puyan and Nanlou hurriedly bowed down to worship, but Nanlou said: "Your Majesty, why bother with Su Puyan, I will lead my [-] elite cavalry, and I will also have Han craftsmen found in Beiping City. They supervised the manufacture of siege weapons such as catapults, and captured Ji Town, which is enough!"

As he said that, Nanlou glanced greedily at the convoys transporting money, food and cloth, and continued: "If you want me to say, let King Su Puyan take his son Lang under his command, and now transport these convoys to Xiangyang first." Ping, when the time comes, let’s take down Ji Town, we’ve captured enough, and we’ll return to Liaodong together!”

Hearing Nanlou's words, Su Puyan was also a little moved.

Anyway, their Tribe of the Three Kings and the elite cavalry of Tadun Headquarters are actually one, and there is no distinction between them.

It is precisely because of this that the Wuhuan tribe can grow so strong in a short period of time.

Unity, regardless of ethnic groups, is always the foundation of power.

Ta Dun pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "That's fine, but, with [-] elite cavalry, can you take down Ji Town?"

Nanlou said quickly: "Of course, please rest assured, Your Majesty! Ji Town will be returned to Your Majesty's hands within three days!"

"Hahaha, good! In that case, Nan Lou, you lead [-] elite cavalry to attack Ji Town, Su Puyan, you lead the [-] elite cavalry to escort the money, food, and silk cloth sent by the Han people, Lou Ban, You lead the soldiers and horses of this tribe to guard Beiping and keep our army back. I will personally lead the Chinese army, and I will join you when I go to Nanlou to take down Ji Town!"

After Ta Dun issued the order, the three kings immediately bowed and knelt down, saying: "We will obey the order of the king!"

……

Ji Town, in the mansion where Ju Shou lived.

At this time, Jushou was holding a long bow specially brought by Yuan Tan, and said with some doubts: "My lord, what is this?"

If there are future generations of cold weapon enthusiasts who see the long bow in Ju Shou's hand, they will definitely recognize it at a glance.

The longbow in Jushou's hand at this time was the famous English longbow in later generations!

This kind of medieval longbow, which originated in Wales and was later spread to Britain, was finally carried forward by Britain. It can be called a big killer in the cold weapon era.

Of course, with the creation of the compound bow by Yuan Tan, a qualifier will be added to this killer weapon.

"Besides Yuan Tan's" battlefield killer!
The casting formula of the compound bow is one of the top secrets of Jiang Zuoyuan, just like the hydraulic rotary hammer, only the core master craftsmen can master it.

Yuan Tan plans to conquer the grassland himself in the future, how could he give the formula of the compound bow to the aristocratic family?
This English longbow was one of the accessories in Yuan Tan's previous lottery, but it was also a top-notch weapon that could only be obtained from the high-end armament prize pool.

The length of the bow alone is a full 1.8 meters in length, and the length of the matching arrows is nearly one meter.

Although the shooting distance of this kind of longbow is not as abnormal as that of the compound bow, the shooting distance can easily reach 200 meters, and the limit distance can even reach 300 meters.

However, the effective shooting distance of the English longbow can still reach 150 meters.

Moreover, the arrows shot by the English longbow have extremely strong penetrating power, and can easily pierce the leather armor equipped by light infantry and light cavalry.

Even if it is a heavy cavalry equipped with iron armor, unless it is equipped with Xuzhou armor or Su iron armor, it is not too difficult to break through the armor's defense.

And the enemies that the aristocratic families will face on the grassland will all be cavalry wearing light armor.

Whether it is the Wuhuan people or the Xianbei people, even the most powerful Huns, the bows and arrows they use are at most within a hundred steps, that is, about 100 meters!

Only the eagle shooters among the prairie people can exceed this limit, but the excess is quite limited, at most it is the same as the shooting distance of the English longbow!

In other words, families with English longbows can train their guards to grow into archers, and rely on these longbows to kill those grassland aliens at a long distance!
As for close combat?
Yuan Tan also prepared a strategy for the family!

The grassland is not suitable for camping, because the soil is soft, and the camp walls that have been settled down are likely to be put on horse ropes by the cavalry, and hundreds of cavalry are struggling to pull them.

It is easy to pull down the wall of the village.

But car arrays can form on the grassland!

Dozens of armored chariots were also used as protective chariots, forming a circular chariot formation, with the tents where the aristocratic families lived in the middle.

Once a foreign enemy invades, the vehicle formation can be used as the best bunker, with the guards inside to fight back.

No matter how many cavalry the foreign races in the prairie dispatched, they could only look at the formation of chariots and sigh!

Not to mention, another convenience of the car array is that it can be moved, unlike a camp. Once it is established, if you want to change places, you have to set up a new camp.

It just meets the needs of the family to breed cattle, sheep and horses, and often chase areas with rich water and grass for transfer.

The method of chariot formation was not pioneered by Yuan Tan. Before that, many generals of the Han Dynasty had already begun to use the technique of chariot formation combat.

It's just not as mature as the tactics given by Yuan Tan.

After all, the chariot formation technique that Yuan Tan brought out was extracted from the system, and it was the essentials of the art of war of Ma Fang, a master of chariot formation technology, and the famous Ming Dynasty general Ma Fang and others.

Therefore, Ju Shou did not doubt the defensive power of the chariot formation, but was even more amazed by the lord's natural talents.

However, I have some doubts about what Yuan Tan said about the lethality of the English longbow and the fact that the training requirements are not high.

Normal archers would have to work hard for at least three to five years if they wanted to be trained.

But Yuan Tan said that the English longbow archers only need about half a year to form an army, which made Jushou a little unbelievable.

Yuan Tan smiled slightly, and said: "It's okay, I brought five thousand of these longbows this time, and I will hand them all to the soldiers of Ji Town for use. You can take a look at it then and you will know."

Jushou raised his eyebrows: "Will it be used by the infantry soldiers in Ji Town?"

Archers who already have bow and arrow skills, and infantry who have never touched bows and arrows for the first time to use bows and arrows are two completely different situations.

Yuan Tan laughed: "Don't worry, Gongyou, they are naturally ordinary soldiers, and they will not specially select archers to fool you."

Hearing this, Jushou slightly cupped his hands and said, "Then my subordinates are just waiting to see the good show prepared by my lord."

Since Yuan Tan said this, he must have full confidence.

Jushou has also learned to speak tactfully after going through the previous hardships, so naturally he will no longer be entangled here, making it difficult for Yuan Tan to step down.

What's more, what if the English longbow is really what Yuan Tan said.

It allows soldiers who have not had much exposure to bows and arrows to rely on this bow and arrow to deal effective damage.

Then the nursing home of the aristocratic family can definitely do it.

After all, since he can be selected by the family as his nursing home, among other things, at least the level of physical fitness must be better than Ji, who has just been tossed by Liu Ying, that is, gradually recovered under the care of Yuan Tan during this period. The town officers and soldiers are much stronger.
